The company will unveil its highly anticipated, new motorcycle brand on February 1. This new motorcycle named 'V' contains metal of the India's first aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, Bajaj Auto Ltd (BAL) said in a statement.

"For decades, the INS Vikrant has been celebrated as the pride of our country and is synonymous with Indian military capabilities and power projection. We are proud that Bajaj Auto is playing a role in keeping the legacy of India's first aircraft carrier alive," BAL President (Motorcycle Business) Eric Vas said.

For the warship, the name Vikrant was taken from the Sanskrit word Vikranta meaning 'stepping beyond', these qualities also form the essence of the company's new brand, he added.
